By The Way, Meet Vera Stark
Tuesday March 4–Saturday March 8
£10.00 – £17.00The Golden Age of Hollywood sparkled with both legends and forgotten gems. Meet Vera Stark, a determined actress who begins her journey into film while working as a maid to star Gloria Mitchell. When both women are cast in the hit Southern drama ‘The Belle of New Orleans,’ it seems Vera’s dreams of stardom might finally come true – but her path through Hollywood’s complex landscape reveals unexpected turns.
This clever satire blends screwball comedy with thoughtful commentary on the entertainment industry’s shifting tides and unwritten rules. Vera’s character draws inspiration from Theresa Harris who performed in classics like Baby Face (1933), Jezebel (1938), and Miracle on 34th Street (1947). Though her name may have faded from marquee lights, through one woman’s story, we glimpse an entire era of Hollywood history, with all its glitter and shadows.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Nightly performances at 7.45 pm.
Tickets – TUE £10-£14, WED-THU £11.50-£15, FRI-SAT £13.50-£17
